Enabling replication in the social sciences
Replikationsserver.de was iniated by the the journals Zeitschrift für Soziologie and Soziale Welt in collaboration with GESIS, aiming to promote data sharing for the purpose of replication. The journals Historical Social Research and German Political Science Quarterly joined the initiative as well.
Authors of the participating journals commit themselves to sharing research data and/or analysis scripts related to their publications.
GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences has developed the service Archiving Basis, enabling researchers in the social sciences to upload, document, and share securely their research data and code. Uploaded datasets and code can be easily referenced from the respective journal publication and vice versa by assigning DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers).
